5L Beer Keg – Best 5 Litre Beer Kegs

5 Litre Beer Keg – Best Mini Kegs of Beer for Home Use

If you’re a beer enthusiast or someone looking to enhance their home bar, a 5 litre beer keg is the ultimate solution. Whether you're hosting a garden party, planning a relaxed evening in your man cave, or just want to enjoy draught beer at home, our premium mini kegs of beer offer the ideal experience.

At Draft Products, we specialize in high-quality craft beers imported directly from Germany and France. Our kegs are designed for convenience, freshness, and authentic pub-like pours — all from the comfort of your own home.

Discover Authentic European Craft Beers in a 5 Litre Keg

Each 5 litre beer keg in our collection contains top-quality beer brewed by independent European breweries. These are not mass-produced beers — they are crafted by medium-sized, private brewers who prioritize taste, quality, and tradition. These beers are unpasteurised, unfiltered, and contain no artificial additives or preservatives.

We offer exclusive imports from some of Europe’s most respected breweries, such as:

• Les Brasseurs de Lorraine (France)
• Waldhaus Privatbrauerei (Germany)
• Chateau Bas (France – Wine offerings)
• H.Koenig (Beer Machines and accessories)

Our range includes classic styles like Pilsner, Hell, Blonde, Blanche, Amber, and Red — making it easy for any beer lover to find their perfect pour.

Why Choose a 5L Beer Keg?

The 5 litre beer keg is the perfect balance between quantity, convenience, and portability. Each keg holds around 9 pints (5.2L) of beer, which makes it ideal for:

• Home gatherings and weekend parties
• Watching sports with friends
• Celebrating special occasions
• Stocking your home bar
• Outdoor BBQs and garden events

Better yet, our mini kegs of beer are fridge-friendly, meaning they cool easily and are always ready to pour.

Compatible with 5L Beer Keg Machines

Our mini kegs are compatible with all standard 5l beer keg machines that use CO₂ cartridges. Popular compatible machines include:

• Klarstein
• H.Koenig
• Salter
• Ice-master
• Beermonster

If you already own a beer keg machine, you’ll be pleased to know that setup is quick and user-friendly. Many of our kegs also feature a self-pour tap, allowing you to use them with or without a dispenser.

Beer Keg Machines: Pressurised vs Non-Pressurised

Understanding the difference between pressurised and non-pressurised 5l beer kegs is important:

• Non-pressurised kegs (most craft beer kegs) require a CO₂ cartridge to dispense properly. These cartridges are affordable, widely available, and come with every 5l beer keg machine we sell.
• Pressurised kegs are ready to pour without additional tools. Just plug and pour — perfect for people who want a beer dispenser for home that’s hassle-free. Popular pressurised options include:
• Heineken
• Affligem
• Desperados
• Pelforth
• Gallia
• Lagunitas IPA

Whether you prefer the hands-on approach or want a plug-and-play solution, we’ve got the perfect keg and machine for your needs.

Setting Up Your Beer Dispenser for Home

If it’s your first time using a 5l beer keg machine, don’t worry — we provide an exhaustive instruction manual and a simplified setup guide. You’ll be walked through every step, from inserting the CO₂ cartridge to ensuring optimal pour pressure.

Quick Tips for First-Time Users:

• Chill the keg for at least 8 hours before pouring
  
  
• Keep the machine clean to avoid flavour contamination
  
  
• Use the CO₂ regulator properly to avoid foam overflow
  
  
• Always open the pressure valve before removing an empty keg
  
  

The result? Smooth, cold beer that tastes exactly like it came from your favourite local pub.
